Once Upon A Time In Las Vegas – Wildcard Edition
It's a Colonial Athletic Association clash as the Northeastern Huskies host the Delaware Blue Hens. Northeastern is 6-9 overall and 2-2 in the CAA while the Blue Hens are 10-7 overall and 2-2 in the conference. The Blue Hens have won 4 straight over Northeastern, including two wins last season. Tipoff is at 6:00 p.m. EST at Matthews Arena in Boston.
The Delaware Blue Hens are off to a 10-7 start overall and they are 2-2 in the CAA. However they have lost two of their last three games, falling to 22nd ranked Charleston, and most recently, getting drubbed by Hofstra 86-62 on Saturday. The Hofstra loss was their worst of the season, as they failed to cover by a wide margin 9.5 point underdogs.

Delaware shot a dreadful 33% from the floor and turned the ball over 18 times. Ebby Asamoah led the Blue Hens with 13 points while Jyare Davis had 10 points and 9 rebounds. But they played without their best player, Jameer Nelson Jr. Nelson averages 19.7 points per game. He is listed as questionable for Monday's game. Delaware is ranked No. 220 in the nation by KenPom.
